/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

was there even one gay character in TNG?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

No, but as soon as they add C to LGBT, Beverly will identify as part of the queer community.

No. Fuck you. We reject him. We have standards.

Sincerely, the gay community.

Yep. This greentext is all just "dont threaten me with a good time". Let anon fawn over one another's griftcoin acumen and wallow in their oblivious unfuckability.

Short of DS9, Discovery is my fav ✨️

What's the "gay agenda" reference for TNG?

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I also don't think the TNG cast is particularly overly-emotional.

Plus TNG didn't retcon Klingon appearance, it had been that way for like 10 years already by that point, from the TOS films.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

The TNG cast is pretty human. They don't avoid anger, happiness, frustration, empathy, sexual tension, etc.

To the chuds of 4chan, showing a normal range of human emotion is over emotional, which this greentext is mocking.

First one that comes to mind is "The Outcast". Not really gay, but for anyone who is triggered by anything different they would consider it "woke".

Yeah, I was gonna say I don't remember anybody being gay in TNG. Am I missing something?

Oh, and IMO the cast of TNG is the opposite of emotional. They are calm and collected 90% of the time. 5% is Riker being horny, and the other 5% is Picard losing his shit over the amount of lights or something.

retconned Klingons to look super weird

TBF the Klingons were retconned in TMP

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

From now on, every Star Trek show should change the appearance of the Kinglons and the Trill. And also add a new color of Andorians.
